Thank god more people on here are discovering Open Secrets. Great reply Joe. I can't tell you how many times I've referenced OpenSecrets on here when replying to a post about how republicans are for the banks, for the rich, and the democrats are for the little guy, and hate the banks.

I simply reply, go to Opensecrets.org and see that Obama has received more money from Goldman Sachs than any politician.

Thank you, there is nothing wrong with making a conscious choice, some always call it censorship, when someone suggest that one use their wallet to express their choice, often it is the same people that at other times are the first to say your money is yours. I think if you choose to buy a product, to encourage better policy for all, that is substantially different than buying a politician to benefit yourself.

These groups have influenced buckets of legislation created by democrats including the largest most sweeping legislation in decades the Healthcare Act which favors pharmaceutical corps, hospitals, and testing labs.

I did not say I prefer either in fact I made it a point to say that. They all have an agenda. They are all out for their own interest. You just think that because one is for healthcare, pensions, or defense that they are for "the people" The fact is that that 70% of the federal budget is spent on healthcare, pensions, and defense.

These groups helped write legislation and that is what we are talking about, Some submitted whole sections to the 2,300 page Health Care Act. Why so they can make more money.

There is only a reason they spend tens of millions in Washington. They do it so they can make hundreds of millions. For example my father used to give a drop of blood for his monthly test and now with Obamacare he has to give a test tube and it gets sent to Medilab. The cost went from $10 to $240 but it is covered. His doctor said a drop is ll you need bu to be covered under the new system you have to do it this way. Other tests that were done in the office have to be done in the Hospital at 5 time s the cost. Also, they switched him from generic drugs to expensive name brand drugs (but they are covered)

Let's not pretend that it is all "voter rights" and "the people". There is big money (hundreds of billions) involved.

It is an advertising business. Really........your in the propaganda business. All of your posts are geared to not voting or writing in a name or if people focus on the issues then it is really divisive.

You know I'm a registered Independent. You know why I vote the way I do. So, don't play that victim shit with me. You are hired to spread propaganda.
But, you never address the actual trolls. Why is that? Huh?

No for going all over the country telling a lie. The man made his name telling truth to power but when he wanted power he told lies like they all do Taritor! If Nader had taken the same position in the 60's that he took in 2000 he would have said, "the convair has a motor and four tires, as does the VW there's no difference between them" and we would have never heard of him.
